It has been a couple years-before Larry's accident that I have done any spinning. I am just not going to get fine spun yarns but I am not concerned with that anymore. I am liking my bulky handspun yarns and will add to my Yellowstone inspired yarns that I have spun off and on since 2017 when I visited there.
I am loving these two fibers carded together and spun-the bison and karakul fibers The bison fibers gave the yarn a nice softness.
I found another bag of the karakul and I have lots of bison fiber bits so I will be spinning more of this and adding to my Yellowstone weaving project
I am getting help getting caught up with the grass cutting. Our workers that are still working on the lift brought their lawnmower-I used the weed eater up by the lake as I have a lot of those water iris plants there-that look just like grass. So I appreciate that-they are working it in with the projects. They are also getting the metal railing they made ready to put on the paint primer. Slow going as we have the extreme heat and humidity today and for at least the next 5 days again.
Happy Thursday

ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteKnock on wood..... I have the grass all caught up !!!! And it is either growing slowly or dying off with the high heat and no rain...I just have the ditch and Alvin has decided to burn it.... because it is 90% burrs... and really needs to be done.... We are getting a pare burner or is it pear burner...?? for that....Never used one but Alvin has lots growing up on the ranch...Hopefully he's able to do it or able to show me how to do it.. Kill everything in the ditch and its one less thing i have to weedeat..
ReplyDeleteYour fibers are beautiful Kathy. I cannot wait to see what you make with it..
We are headed to Fredericksburg for Friday over Saturday... It will be nice to get away... taking my watercoloring with me.. Hugs! deb
Feels good to get a project like the grass all done-glad yours is all caught up too-hugs. sounds fun to get away, and share your paintings-hugs
DeleteYour spun yarn looks gorgeous Kathy. I'd knit with that. I find bulky hand spun yard more appealing because it's not as perfect as the machine yarn you can buy. Have a super weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThank you Erika, I appreciate that-I love the character in the yarn too hugs
DeleteLovely work on the yarn, Kathy. Stay cool, it is the same heat 🥵 here.
ReplyDeleteFood morning Linda, thank you we headed towards 100 F today til early next week, no rain of course-ugh take care
DeleteIt is beautiful here today finally the heat has been brutal but it is coming back on Sunday how I hate it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting some help. Your fibers look great.
Cathy
Good morning-glad to read you are getting a break from the heat-we have several days including today with temps nearing 100 F plus the humidity along with it-ugh. so playing with my vacuum sealer-large bags of raisins, currents broken down into quarts and spinning too
DeleteI was thankful for the grass cutting-just couldn't do it in this heat
So glad you are getting help with the lift. Also glad you are back to your fibers. The heat wave is here too. Wishing for some rain but not in the forecast as of yet. Janice
ReplyDeleteGood morning thank you no relief in sight here either or rain-near 100 F not counting the heat index-ugh stay cool
DeleteHappy weekend
That’s wonderful that you’re getting back into spinning—it sounds so relaxing and creative! Bulky handspun yarns have such a cozy, earthy charm, and I love that you’re adding to your Yellowstone-inspired collection. What a special way to keep those memories alive in your craft. Happy spinning—can’t wait to see what you create! 🧶💛
